AshleyWith marriage, there are things you can and can’t live with.Harry, my abusive husband, made that clear enough when he beat me like a dog, forced a miscarriage on me, and tried posing me as a hostage to my father’s notorious biker gang, The Reapers. I was lucky enough to get out of my marriage in one piece but it’s only a matter of time before he picks up my trail and hunts me down. … down. Blackjack––swears he’ll kill him the second he steps foot in town. I know he means well but there’s something about his stare when he tells me I deserve better. A part of me wants to believe I deserve someone like him and yet my bruises are telling me never to trust another man again. But Blackjack isn’t like any other man. Is he?
Blackjack
When I enlisted into the army, I didn’t think I’d have anything or anyone to lose––except for her. Ashley Monroe, the blonde wild-child of Montana’s Reapers MC. It shouldn’t have been a surprise when I came back home years later to find out that she left town and ended up married. Life went on of course and I was fortunate enough to have Dex, a son of my own. Three years later, Ashley came back beaten and broken from her marriage. I’ve never wanted to kill a man so bad in my entire life. Just one look at her and I’m drowning with the urge to hold her in my arms and tell her that she’s safe with me, truly. Sometimes I wonder if there’s still enough strength in both of us for a second shot in life.

Blackjack by Elizabeth Knox is book One in the Reapers Series. This is the story of Blackjack and Ashley. Blackjack had left to join the military after his attraction to the too young Ashley became to much. Ashley ended up marring abusive man who she finally escapes from in their present day which leads her back to Blackjack who has just return from his military tour. They both find that their connection is still there along with the feelings they have. But danger is coming for her and him.
Holy cow…this book pulled me in the moment i started reading it…I couldn’t stop till I was done.
Like a slow burn. Build up the suspense and story to the final explosion at the end. Ashley leaves her father’s house to be with Harry, who doesn’t treat her right. When she finally escapes back home, Blackjack has returned. To further complicate her life, he avoids her as much as he can, until…more threats are thrown Ashley’s way. The Reapers MC take care of their own, and this is certainly a time to clean house and put matters to rights.

I really enjoyed this action packed and intriguing MC romance, there is plenty of drama in this story from the beginning until the end. We meet Ashley, the MC princess while her husband is beating her up for falling pregnant, injured and afraid she heads for home and her father’s MC. Blackjack has always been attracted to Ashley, so he joined the military while she was underage and hasn’t seen her until now. He vows to protect her as he should have done all those years ago.
3.5 Stars
The story line and character work were okay. The book did not have a smooth flow to it. This book needs some refining and editing in order to be a great book. While I was entertained by this book, I was disappointed because I know that this author is capable of so much more.

This is the perfect biker romance. Full of intense chemistry and heat that you would want! Blackjack and Ashley are just perfect for one another. Add in the full cast of characters of both MCs and it’s fun, intense and full of surprises!
I loved this book. There are some definite trigger points for people who have been abused or witnessed abuse, however, I loved the strength that Ashley showed. I loved how Blackjack took care of Ashley and how there romance blossomed into the kind of love you want. This is a must read!!!!

This book focuses more on a woman who came home broken and beaten after 4 years away from her MC family, how she grew in strength and determination after connecting with a man who her heart belong to since she was 16. Their story is filled with relearning each other and trusting their feelings into more than their heart can withstand. At the end, their love is strong and they stand together as one. No spoilers, wouldn’t want to ruin for others. Definitely a page turner to the end. You won’t put it down. Love the Reapers
Another cracking book. I really am enjoying reading this authors back catalogue. I loved Blackjack the book and the man! He was just so easy to love, a single father who moved heaven and earth to protect his child from certain aspects of club life, and to then do the same for Ashley. Oh, and the man was hot!!! Now Ashley, boy was she dealt a bad hand in her marriage! But she came out fighting and stronger than I think even she knew she could be. I loved this book, the story was heart wrenching in parts and laugh out loud in others. The twins brought a little humour to the story, and I can’t wait to see if they have books of their own too, I can only imagine the kind of things they will get up too!
Simply put, I would highly recommend this book to a friend, or a stranger!

This was a pretty good story, but needs a little more editing. The first chapter is brutal. The next part is pretty rough, but in a good way. It a very much a story of survival and moving forward. This is a new to me author and I would definitely read more by her.
Ashley has been married to a physically abusive husband. Blackjack falls for Ashley when he returns from his time in the Army. Blackjack vows that he will protect and love Ashley now that they have been given a second chance. Elizabeth wrote about a tough top in this book and although Ashley has been through a hell no women should have to go through you get to see her become a strong women as she fights to her life back with Blackjack by her side.

Ashley married the wrong man – and paid the price. Running back to her father’s MC she meets Blackjack again and he helps her heal. But there’s still bad blood between the two MC’s and how will it all end?
A really good story with no cliffhanger but does introduce the storyline for the next book. Looking forward to the rest of the series.
(Some scenes which describe domestic violence which may be a trigger, in which case you might want to start the book at chapter two)
This is the first book I have read from this author and let me just say this will NOT be the last. . What an intriguing, consuming book! Oh my…this author surprised me in such a good way.
The beginning was a little slow for me but by the time I got to the end of this book, I was loving it! Some very angsty moments.
“Ashley Monroe married to an abusive man, her husband also happens to be a member of her father’s rival gang. After being badly beaten, Ashley finally finds the courage to flee her unforgiving life
MC storyline that was action packed, suspenseful, entertaining and had biker hotness.
I found the style of writing very atmospheric. I felt like I had stepped into an alternate reality where the real world was just a hand’s reach away,
I loved this story. I think what made this a 5 star book for me was Blackjack . HE IS HOT! There’s a real beauty, polish, and purpose to the way the story is unfolding.
I can’t wait to see what is to come with this MC and which of the guys is next!
This is the first book in a series called Reapers MC. It’s a standalone book that will keep you entranced to the very end and have you wanting more. It’s a fast-paced second chance love story with action, trauma, and drama. The characters are well written with chemistry that can’t be denied. Ms. Knox is a great writer whether it is written by herself or with others. You won’t be disappointed in any of her books.

Ashley and Blackjack have a second chance to be together. He was a lot older than her. When he left to go in the Army she was at loose ends. The man she marries could be the death of her literally. When he finds out she’s pregnant he beats her really bad. She finds the nerve to sneak out of the house and take his car and returns home to Montana and her father Fist, Prez of the Reapers. This book could cause triggers for some. There’s violence, physical abuse, but in the end there is HEA.
I like this couple a lot. Although Ashley is a character who has been through a lot in her life, I like heroine like that because it is part of the cruel reality today. She is strong and fierce and so brave. And with Blackjack by her side she can truly relax and be herself finally. I highly recommend this jewel.

This story is told between Blackjack (Rob) and Ashley. The story is told from duel point of view. I love stores told in this format because it lets you know what both people are thinking.
Ashley leaves her abusive husband who is in the Bears MC to return home to her father who is the head of the Reapers MC. Where Blackjack is and tends to her injuries. Blackjack is quite a few years older than Ashley.
The Bears MC wants Ashley back and Blackjack will do anything to keep her safe.
** I received a complimentary copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.
I highly recommend this book!!! A total must read…the language and sex is explicit, there is violence and triggers…so be warned if you are sensitive this book is definitely not for you.
This is a second chance older man younger woman romance between a bad boy biker and his MCs president’s daughter that comes home after running away from her abusive marriage .
The action drama and suspense will have you glued to your e-reader..
